  For the same reason I don't write an optimized BingoMongrel in C to lower my memory footprint and save $25 a month on my hosting bill: a) that introduces technical risk into a project which doesn't need it at all and b) the cost savings are swamped by the investment in engineering time. Plus, four weeks spent teaching myself Asterix is four weeks I can't spend doing things like coding the part of the app people actually pay for or doing consulting, which could buy me a X * 10^7 minutes of call time or Y months of salary in the bank for employee #1.

      Wasn't memory allocation errors, stack overflows, and code injection implied sufficiently by the words "in C"?
